Who will be the star men?

Kobbie Mainoo has been a rare bright spark for United this season after establishing himself in Ten Hag’s starting line-up.

The midfielder has scored three goals in 29 appearances since returning from an ankle injury in November.

He also made his England debut against Brazil in March before a man of the match display against Belgium.

What are both teams form like?

United are winless in three following their loss to Arsenal, with the run also including a 4-0 thrashing by Crystal Palace.

The Red Devils have lost just one of their 28 home Premier League meetings with Newcastle, though.

They have also suffered just one defeat in their final home league match across the last 16 seasons.

However, United have already been beaten nine times at Old Trafford across all competitions this season and have never lost 10 in a single campaign.

Newcastle are on a three-match winning run against United as well as losing just one of their last eight matches.

Of those fixtures, Eddie Howe’s side have won five times including comfortable victories over Burnley, Tottenham and Sheffield United.

Welcome to Manchester United vs Newcastle

MANCHESTER UNITED face Newcastle in a huge Premier League clash in the battle for a spot in Europe.

The Red Devils have had a league campaign to forget – breaking all sorts of unwanted records such as most goals conceded since 1970/71.

And Erik ten Hag’s side hit another bump in the road last Sunday having lost to bitter rivals Arsenal courtesy of a first-half Leandro Trossard strike.

However, Newcastle haven’t exactly been firing on all cylinders and their 1-1 draw with Brighton last weekend was another example of this.

The Magpies have already beaten United twice this season, including a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture in December.

That win followed a 3-0 away triumph at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup a month earlier.

So with all that being said, it is set up to be an unpredictable match and SunSport can provide fans with all the coverage in our live blog.
